Music Notes
The communion setting for Lent will be Matthias.
During communion the organ music will be "Adagio for Strings" by the American
composer Samuel Barber (1910-1981). The composition has been arranged for
piano/organ, choir (Agnus Dei) and film music. The postlude is "Processional to
Calvary" from the cantata "The Crucifixion" by the English organist/composer
Sir John Stainer (1840-1901). See separate notice in Parish Press.

From the Vicar
Fortunately as we will hear in today’s readings, everything went according to plan
for Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday. On the other hand,
however, we have encountered some turbulence in the approach to Holy Week
here in Surrey Hills & Mont Albert. As you will no doubt see, Jenny has broken her
arm. Fortunately we believe it is a clean fracture which is already healing, but she
won’t be able to drive for a few weeks. Then our Parish Administrator diligently
noticed that daylight savings ends early on Easter morning. Could this be because
the ‘Light of the World’ has risen from the dead? Our Easter Services flyer and
signboard certainly suggest a glow from the empty tomb on that morning. Please
remember to adjust your clocks to that you are not too early, though that’s better
than being late. If you are early, we will entertain you in any case.
Today we have our Palm Sunday services and evening concert at St Peter’s Box Hill
at 7.30pm. If you are wondering how to fill in the afternoon, Philip Widmer is
conducting a tour of Box Hill cemetery at 2pm on the theme ‘Famous and
Unusual’. Please let him know (0403419522) if you are going to join me there.
On Holy Monday at 7pm we have a Eucharist in the chapel which Jenny is
celebrating, ably assisted by Patricia Fincham.
On Holy Tuesday at 7pm we also have Holy Eucharist at 7pm in the chapel.
On Holy Wednesday we have our healing service at 10am, this time using a service
from the Iona Community. Afterwards we will have the final morning Lenten study
that we missed last week. At 7pm, there is a special meditation service at stations
spread throughout the church and Parish Centre. Jenny has devised this and I
hope you can join us. I will be arranging fish and chips for dinner afterwards ($10).
Jenny and I wish you a very holy week and a happy Easter. How could we be
anything else but happy as ‘Christ is risen’. Fr Ian

Box Hill and Holy Trinity at St Peters Box Hill. The soloists are Barry Fry bass and Richard Thomas tenor, the conductor is Derek Jones and the organist is Lewis
Plumridge. Members of the Holy Trinity Parish may find this an opportunity to farewell Rev. Derek Jones who is retiring from full-time parish ministry on the Sunday
after Easter.
Trinity @home There is no meeting on Maundy Thursday 2 April.
Easter Flowers-thank you Thanks for the generous response from parishioners for
money towards the Christmas flowers I am able to purchase for Easter without
asking for donations at this time.

Easter please let me know.

On Maundy Thursday we have our special commemoration of the Last Supper at
7pm with five priests concelebrating. This is the beginning of the Triduum, the great
three days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter.
On Good Friday at 10am we will have our Solemn Liturgy of the veneration of the
cross and Antecommunion, using the sacrament remaining from our Maundy
Thursday service. Afterwards we will have hot cross buns.
Holy Saturday brings us to the new fire of Easter at 7pm, with the Vigil readings and
the first Eucharist of Easter (which technically starts from sunset on Saturday
evening).
On Easter Day we have services at 8am and 9.30am as usual (less daylight savings
time), with a special emphasis on children at our 9.30 service.
All the services this year are new (or at least different from last year), so please
come and also keep the Orders of Service for reflection.
